How bail works in Tuscola County
A person arrested in Tuscola County is booked into the Tuscola County Jail, 420 Court St. STE 1, Caro, MI 48723 (Sheriff's Office: 989-673-8161). Within roughly 24 hours, the arrestee is arraigned before the 71-B District Court (440 N. State Street, Caro, MI 48723; 989-672-3800), where the judge advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond and future court dates. Misdemeanors generally remain in the 71-B District Court through resolution. For felonies, the 71-B District Court conducts the initial arraignment, probable-cause conference, and preliminary examination; if the judge finds probable cause, the case is bound over to the 54th Circuit Court (440 N. State St., Caro, MI 48723; 989-673-3330) for trial-level proceedings. Under Michigan practice, a judge may set release on personal recognizance (PR/no money), cash bond, a 10% cash deposit, or a surety (bail-bond) amount, depending on the charges and risk factors. Specific bond amounts and conditions are determined case-by-case by the arraigning judge.
